Coulomb branches for quaternionic representations

Publication date 2 September 2022

Semisimple Lie groups and their representations (22E46) Equivariant homology and cohomology in algebraic topology (55N91) Yang-Mills and other gauge theories in quantum field theory (81T13)

Abstract: I describe the emph{Chiral rings}

R_{3, 4}

for

3

D,

N = 4

supersymmetric

G

-gauge theory and matter fields in quaternionic representations

E

: first, by a topological tweak of the construction of arxiv:1601.03586, and second, more explicitly, by Weyl group descent from the maximal torus. A topological obstruction is

w_{4} (E)

modulo squares, for

R_{3}

; a secondary obstruction sometimes appears for

c R_{4}

. Flatness over the Toda bases allows their calculation by reduction to

m a t h r m {S U}_{2}

. For some representations, an Abelianization formula describes the

R

in terms of the maximal torus and the Weyl group. This provides an alternative to a recent proposal arxiv:2201.09475.
